Clay's Video/Picture Flight Log

Post by cml001 »

Here are some videos to start my log.. I'll try to get new videos as I can. It's hard sometimes as I usually fly alone.. But will endeavor to capture flights... Here ya go. This video I was testing after a repair was made.

Had a good day on these two videos. My son & I had went to a small skateboard park about a half hour from home... There is a skate park, basketball courts, kiddie park, baseball & football fields.. All in one community facility. We were to meet my buddy there.. We were early so I had Julian(my son) use my iPhone to catch these 2 flights. He did a great job filming.. Better than my fly'n! Lol

Testing my newly built Align 550Pro DFC w iKon.. My first big bird.. And first experience w iKon.. Anyhow.. I was trying to set tail gain, pitch precomp, & auto bailout functions.. So of course I do as usual and test in a small front yard.

Shot about 2 or 3 weeks ago.. Without my knowing it at the time... My buddy Justin got me fly'n the 550Pro DFC on his iPhone... I can't figure out why the quality was sooo low.. And he didn't get the all the flight.. I had an auto goin that was AWESOME!!... Yet I got scared and bailed out 1' of the deck.. He said I had it.. I think I did.. Anyhow he had cut the video before I got that far.. Can't see half this due to quality being so poor.

This was my buddy Justin's flight w his Blade 550X.

Trust me... My little 450 sees it's far share of dirt! At least once a month now.. I used to baby her sooo much.. I would use the 130X as my "practice a new trick" bird.. But it was such a part hog(even if u didn't crash) that now I just keep spares for her on hand for the 450. I'm surprised I haven't had to re-kit it several times over.. Been a pretty tough bird. The DFC set ups do like to eat servo gears in "right" crash... Lol. Anyhow thanks guys!

Iv got no complaints with Tarot... Almost wish I'd saved a couple bucks and bought their kit instead of Align.. The thing I like the most is the aluminum tail mount.... Wish they made one for the big birds.

Yeah.. We got back late last night.. Today is the last day off till Thanksgiving.. And it's a wet day! So my chores aren't gonna get done that needed to be.. And no fly'n either.. I should be able to fly on Thanksgiving if weather permits.. The family is still gonna gather at grandmas house and it's surrounded by fields to fly.. Kids and old folk like to watch the Helis so if it's dry I'll fly. Just not today.

This is from a couple weeks ago.. I made a hat cam mount for the iPhone.. It's too heavy and feels really weird. Rather windy day.. See the flag? I'm in the bottom if a hill with lots of trees... If the wind gets down here... It's really windy.. Storage cut the cam as I ran outta space.

Hat cam was great, shame it ended so soon... Nice control of that bird Clay, pretty confined space there for those manoeuvres. Lol, I need a huge field just to turn around....lol... Nice one, next time clear some space on ya phone for bigger vids... That's my tip of the day... Haha
